A podcast exploring the anime industry as it connects with Canadian media and fandom. If you're in Canada, you get news and analysis directly relevant to you.

Discussion of streaming, broadcast and cultural impact are all on the table as I try my hardest to resist indulging in Bionix-related nostalgia.
